It is disliked for a man to pluck out a white hair from his head or beard. He said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not dye his hair. The whiteness was only in the small tuft of hair below his lower lip, on his temples, and a few scattered strands on his head.
يكره أن ينتف الرجل الشعرة البيضاء من رأسه ولحيته، قال: ولم يختضب رسول الله ﷺ، إنما كان البياض في عنفقته وفي الصدغين وفي الرأس نبذ.
Muslim narrated it in the Book of Virtues (2341:104) from Nasr bin Ali Jahdami, who said, my father narrated to us, Muthanna bin Saeed narrated to us, from Qatada, from Anas bin Malik, and he related it.Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Virtues (3550) from Abu Naeem, who said, Hammam narrated to us, from Qatada, who said, I asked Anas, "Did the Prophet ﷺ dye his hair?" He said, "No, there was only something at his temples."Regarding his saying "his anfaqa," Ibn Athir said, the anfaqa is the hair on the lower lip, though it has also been said to be the hair between it and the chin. The root of the word anfaqa relates to the lightness and sparseness of something.Regarding his saying "the temples," the sidgh is the area between the ear and the eye, and the term is also used for the hair hanging down from the head in that spot. Fath al-Bari (6/572).
